Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 467 "Running Man" reality show
Li Shuning really couldn't reply to Hu Jiangshan immediately, after all, he still needed to go to the company to go through the process.

"And I have to ask Yifei what she thinks."

As he spoke, Li Shuning looked at Chen Yifei.

The latter took a sip of tea and said, "I have no objection."

Zhang Xiaorou's eyes widened: "Ah? Yifei, you don't have any opinions? This is not like you!"

Chen Yifei was stunned: "Why doesn't it look like me?"

"You were very picky before, and you didn't like many brands."

"Nonsense, I only picked a few, and Boss Hu's situation is quite special."

"What's so special?"

Chen Yifei glared at the assistant: "Think about it yourself."

Zhang Xiaorou thought about it and really showed an expression of sudden enlightenment. She didn't know what reason she thought of, but finally her logic was self-consistent.

Li Shuning said, "Okay, if Yifei has no objection, I can go to the company to go through the process. Boss Hu, we can find a time to talk about the endorsement fee later."

Hu Jiangshan agreed with a smile.

Needless to say, Chen Yifei's endorsement fee must be very high, but Hu Jiangshan is now fully capable of affording it and is willing to pay the money.

What Song Jingtao said just now is very correct. Chen Yifei has a very high commercial value and can enhance the brand value of Jiangshan Group.

Li Shuning said, "Let's get back to the plan. Boss Hu, what do you think of this promotional plan?"

Hu Jiangshan waved his hand: "I don't have any ideas. I think this is really good, but the venue of this reality show needs to be carefully considered."

"Yes, there are two requirements. One is that it should be big, and the other is that there should not be too many distractions. Of course, it would be even better if it can have beautiful scenery and a fresh environment."

Hu Jiangshan said: "This is easy to do. Just arrange for them to go to the island."

Li Shuning knew that Hu Jiangshan had two islands in total, and each one was better than the other. It could be said that they were rich in resources, so there was no need to worry about the venue issue at all.

As for where to settle down, these details don't need to be decided so quickly.

Li Shuning added: "The Chinese New Year is coming soon, but we are pressed for time, so we hope to arrange it as soon as possible."

Hu Jiangshan agreed.

Since this is an urgent public relations operation, we cannot waste time on it and the plan needs to be implemented as soon as possible after it is formulated.

Reality shows need to be recorded in advance, so they should be put first.

Li Shuning asked: "Boss Hu, if you have any other requests, feel free to ask."

Hu Jiangshan thought for a moment and said, "Sister Ning, this is what happened. I built a resort on the island. Can you promote it more?"

Li Shuning was stunned: "Resort? Boss Hu, do you mean it's already completed?"

Hu Jiangshan nodded: "It's done."

"where?"

"It's on Tenglong Island."

Chen Yifei was very surprised when these words were spoken.

Chen Yifei had been to Tenglong Island, but she didn't see any resort or any signs of construction at that time. But not long after, a resort appeared on the island.

Just think about it, since it is called a resort, it must be quite large.

Li Shuning said: "If that's the case, we can set the reality show shooting scene inside the resort."

Hu Jiangshan smiled slightly: "Sister Ning, I think so too."

"But the production team should conduct an on-site review of the scene in advance, is that ok?"

"No problem at all."

Hu Jiangshan is full of confidence in Tenglong Island Resort. No matter how strict the review conditions are, it will be difficult for them to fail to meet them.

The next day, Victoria Harbour Apartments.

Hu Jiangshan got up from the bed, washed up, and went to the morning tea shop he often went to.

The staff in this store are quite familiar with Hu Jiangshan, but they only recently found out that this handsome guy is the legendary Hu Jiangshan. It is inevitable that they will look at Hu Jiangshan a few more times and sometimes even talk about him.

Hu Jiangshan didn't care. He had long been used to it. As long as he could eat normally, it was fine.

As usual, Hu Jiangshan ordered some food and drinks, which came up quickly.

While Hu Jiangshan was enjoying his breakfast, the phone rang.

【Caller ID: Sister Ning】

Hu Jiangshan answered the phone immediately.

"Hello, Sister Ning."

"Boss Hu, is it convenient to talk now?"

"It's convenient. Sister Ning, please tell me."

"I have already told the production team that, in principle, they agree to set the reality show location at the resort on the island, but they need to go there first to take a look at the scene and arrange the filming process and specific program arrangements."

Hu Jiangshan said happily: "I have no problem here, I can receive them anytime."

Li Shuning said: "It should arrive soon, at the earliest tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow at the latest."

It seems that time is really tight and the task is heavy. No wonder Li Shuning contacted the program crew so quickly.

Hu Jiangshan asked: "Sister Ning, do I need to prepare anything?"

Li Shuning thought for a moment and said, "No need to prepare anything, just ensure transportation, and we will take care of the rest."

"You guys take care of it? How can that be possible? You are a guest from afar, so I have to make arrangements on my side."

Li Shuning smiled and said, "Boss Hu, just take care of it. You don't need to worry too much. It's OK as long as it's passable."

Hu Jiangshan agreed, discussed the reception details with Li Shuning, and then hung up the phone.

Hu Jiangshan couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that he couldn't take a rest before the New Year as there were still many things to deal with.

Fortunately, Hu Jiangshan doesn’t need to worry too much about the company’s own affairs, and most of the things are left to Zhou Yuezhu and Zhang Rui.

Both of them are talented generals. Except for the final decision and signature, which need to be handled by Hu Jiangshan, everything else can be handled in an orderly manner.

The next day, Hong Kong Island Ligang Hotel.

There is a tea room on the first floor of the hotel, which is quiet and spacious.

There were several people sitting in the tea room at this time, and the others were members of the "Running Man" program team, led by Gao Junli.

Gao Junli is a famous reality show director in mainland China. She has had several successful works, and "Running Man" is her latest masterpiece.

Although it is said to be the latest, it has actually been popular for several years.

In addition to Gao Junli, there are Guo Mingtao who is responsible for the scene, and Liu Haijiang who is in charge of the props group.

These people are almost all core members of the program team. They came to Hong Kong Island on a business trip together. Obviously, they were not there for travel, but for business trip. They had important work to do.

As mentioned before, "Running Man" is a very popular reality show in the mainland. It has a wide audience in Southeast Asia and can be said to be one of the top five or even top three Chinese reality shows. The guests who can appear on this reality show are definitely very popular stars.

Especially the special guests, although they are not permanent guests, they have to be at least first-tier stars. If second-tier stars want to be on the show, they must have connections, backgrounds, and even bring money into the group.

As for third- and fourth-tier celebrities who want to be on this popular reality show, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky. No one wants to appear even if you pay them.

This is normal. Reality shows are very dependent on ratings, after all, a lot of advertisements have to be inserted in them.

If the ratings of a reality show do not go up, or even do not grow, then it will be a question whether the show will exist in the next season.

Therefore, it is a waste for small stars who have no fame and no audience appeal to participate in reality shows. It may even lower the quality of the show, which is not worth the loss.

The special guest of the next episode of "Running Man" will be a very important figure, Chen Yifei.

For a coffee like Chen Yifei, not only does she not need to pay to join the crew, the program crew still has to rush to pay, and give a large sum of money, and the conditions have to be proposed by Chen Yifei.

In fact, Chen Yifei rarely appears on reality shows, and it is said that she doesn't like it very much, so this is the reason why she agreed to be on the show. The entire "Running Man" program team, investors, TV stations, and video platforms all attach great importance to it.

There is no doubt that as long as Chen Yifei shows up in a reality show, the ratings for that episode will skyrocket.

At this time, the people in the program crew were drinking tea and chatting casually, waiting for important people to come.

Gao Junli checked the time and said, "Sister Ning should be here soon. Let's check and make sure we have everything we need. I heard it's quite far over there. We can't go back and forth. It's too expensive and a waste of time."

The others nodded and quickly got busy.

There are many boxes placed next to the program members, some are ordinary suitcases, some are very sturdy aluminum alloy boxes, and there are also special three-proof boxes specially used for transporting valuable photographic equipment.

After everyone has finished the check-up, they can continue drinking tea and chatting with peace of mind.

It was not their first time to Hong Kong Island, so they didn’t talk about the scenery, but basically about shopping and food.

The shopping atmosphere in Hong Kong Island at this time was still pretty good, not as bad as it was later.

Guo Mingtao said, "Director Gao, this time it should be Sister Ning who decided on the filming location, right?"

"Yes, it was Sister Ning who proposed it."

"Is it reliable? I heard it's on an island, quite a distance from Hong Kong Island, and it's quite troublesome to go back and forth."

Gao Junli thought for a moment and said, "I don't think it should be a big problem. Sister Ning is quite cautious and reliable in doing things. She shouldn't choose a place that's too bad."

"What I mean is that the infrastructure on the island may be very poor, there is no village in front, no shop behind, and maybe you can't even drink clean water."

When the others heard this, they also looked worried.

Liu Jianghai, who is in charge of props and logistics, frowned and said, "Fresh water is indeed a problem on the island. I heard that many outlying islands near Hong Kong Island do not have fresh water, so you need to bring your own drinking water."

When Gao Junli heard this, she became a little worried.

Bringing your own lunch is not a big problem, it is a natural thing to do, just bring more lunch boxes.

If there is insufficient fresh water supply on the island, it would be a very uncomfortable thing.

As the name suggests, the reality show "Running Man" requires running, and the running is quite intense, which consumes a lot of fresh water.

It is not impossible to use fresh water by boat in the past, but it is indeed difficult to use it freely, which would make the guests feel uncomfortable and affect their performance.

That will affect the program's effect and ultimately the program's ratings.

Gao Junli thought for a moment and said, "Let's wait for Sister Ning to come over. I think she has a lot of experience and should be able to think of something like this. If that doesn't work..."

Guo Mingtao said quickly, "Director Gao, if it really doesn't work, let's change the filming location. We can't lose the big picture because of the small details. Let's make things clear and explain it clearly. I think Sister Ning will understand."

Gao Junli nodded.

Gao Junli and Li Shuning have been friends for many years and have collaborated on many projects.

Relatively speaking, Gao Junli does know Li Shuning best and thinks she is quite reliable and will not do anything stupid.

Of course, we are all human and we make mistakes.

And strictly speaking, this is not a mistake in principle.

Perhaps Li Shuning feels that these problems are relatively minor and can be overcome, so as Guo Mingtao said, some things really need to be said openly, and the program effect cannot be ruined for the sake of face. Moreover, Li Shuning is indeed reasonable, so his explanation should be acceptable.

At this time, Guo Mingtao suddenly said: "By the way, is that island a private island?"

Gao Junli nodded: "Yes, I heard from Sister Ning that it is indeed a private island."

"Then, could it be that the owner of that island has a good relationship with Sister Ning? Is that why he chose that place as the filming location?"

"This one……"

Gao Junli couldn't say anything because it seemed to be natural.

If Li Shuning didn't have a good relationship with the owner of that island, why would he choose that place? There is absolutely no need for that.

Liu Jianghai said: "If the two have a good relationship, it will be difficult. No matter how difficult the conditions are, Sister Ning may not be able to refuse."

Gao Junli waved her hand and said, "Don't make blind guesses. Sister Ning is not the person you think she is. Wait until she comes and ask her clearly."

Only then did everyone stop talking about Li Shuning.

In fact, they didn't dare to say much about Li Shuning. After all, her prestige in the industry was quite high, and ordinary people couldn't afford to offend her. Even high-ranking celebrities had to bow and nod when they saw Li Shuning.

As she was speaking, Gao Junli's cell phone rang.

She looked at the caller ID and said, "Everyone, please be careful with your words. Sister Ning is here."

Everyone looked at each other, and quickly calmed down their emotions and made their expressions more natural.

After a while, Li Shuning finally arrived.

After seeing Gao Junli and others, Li Shuning greeted them and said hello, appearing very friendly.

Gao Junli asked Li Shuning to sit down, chatted about some family matters, and then began to discuss work.

"Sister Ning, what is the name of that island?"

Li Shuning replied: "It's called Tenglong Island."

"...Tenglong Island."

Everyone looked at each other in confusion, obviously they had never heard of this island.

Gao Junli said: "This island is not very famous."

"Yes, because this is a private island. It has been bought. It is not a tourist island. No one has heard of it."

"What are the conditions like on the island?"

Li Shuning thought for a moment and replied, "I haven't really been there, but Yifei has been there and filmed some scenes there. She said the conditions are pretty good and it's a very beautiful island."

Gao Junli felt more at ease after hearing this and asked, "What about the water and electricity on Tenglong Island? Is it sufficient?"

Guo Mingtao said: "Yes, we need sufficient electricity to shoot the show. If the electricity is not sufficient, we need to set up additional power generation equipment."

"Don't worry about that. The electricity should be fine."

"What about water? How about fresh water?"
